EVEN IN DREAMS

When, on my couch, last night, pain seemed to search meout,And cast its ghostly thrall my helpless sleep about,Waking at length to consciousness more clear and free,My heart I found, dear God, already turned to Thee,Already turned, great Love, in trust to Thee!
Poem

THE NEARER VIEW

GERTRUDE RING

I did not know such heights were to be won!I thought them inaccessible, remote,Shining in solitude approached by none;Silent and colorless, save there should floatA fleecy sunset cloud awhile to flushIts majesty; then chilled, drop down in tearsUpon the summit, frozen by the hushTo icy mantle thickening with the years.
